Why Does A Person Have A Prolonged Throat Soreness?
I recently had a cold and now the cold is gone but my soar throat continued, about day 10 now, and now my tongue is white at the back. I havent been drinking any water, just 7 Up because it felt better on my throat. I do use chewing tabacco. Could this be a HIV symptom?
